Wall Street profit from manipulation comes if they can take a position against the customer, Ie. a Short Sale, an investment whereby when the stock goes down they make money. Without short sales stock prices would be fairly valued or reflect more of a true value not subject to manipulation. The brokerages would argue when there are not enough shares outstanding they cannot sell to you a stock they cannot acquire. In this case the money for those extra sales should go into a new term called reserve shares, the money from reserve shares would go into a bank account for the company that issued them. The only investment the company would be able to make would be government issued debt, unless they wanted to convert reserved shares into shares outstanding. This new accounting would be much like the reserves China has in their accounting system. It would also eliminate greed, fraud and evil from the stock market. Wall Street would be forced to earn their money. Wall Street loves to profit from the lack of confidence and ignorance of its customers. I know what their character and integrity is, I worked for them.

Pro’s:Money goes to the company as it should, not siphoned to the middle man

Pro’s:Wall Street insiders do not make a market for the good of this country but for themselves when they bet against companies and investors by short selling.

Pro’s:Wall Street’s trading profits mostly come from short sales against their customers or other brokerages customers.Most likely accomplished through the guise of agreements with “Trading Firms” with changing terms that share profit.

Con’s: May limit upside and downside of stock price.

Pro’s: Short Selling has served as a template model for all other derivative securities that could put this country into depression.

Implementation factors:Can put a percent limit on the amount of shares that can be reserved, but must never be allowed to short sale.And brokerages should never be allowed to profit from buy and sells that could potentially be against a customer in any way.Brokerages could be forced to guarantee to the customer that the price they received is firm and this could be accomplished through the buffer reserve account.Sales could be made to the reserve account also, but the status of the reserve account would be maintained as independent of the brokerage and the corporation.But to the effect that if the reserve account had surplus shares the corporation could call them issued at its authority and use the money in capital financing.The balance of money in the account would never be available to the brokerages, only the corporation.The structure of the reserve account could be integrated into the current structure in place for Electronic Stock Certificate Holdings.The Electronic Stock Certificate Holdings would be required to make a printout and other foul proof and easily re-implemented backup systems, in case of corruption of electronic records.

The Reserve share system would make for a much stronger and responsible United States of America in the future.

How can General McChrystal be running a military campaign when he has reckless disregard for the chain of command himself. Has McChrystal not been able to maintain order and manage soldiers, because he himself does not have this integrity as a soldier?Has he ordered troops to get a job done and have then wine at him and taken no action, and now he is wining at the President?Is this effective leadership?

This reads to me like McCrystal is not a man of the discipline to lead our troops.How can he lead men in what to do, if he cannot take orders or has been ineffective?And the reason I state he has been ineffective is because we are still over there.

And another thing why is McChrystal always smiling? What the heck is he happy about, keeping our troops there ineffectively? A General should be serious, as in get the job done and get it done fast, smile when it is over.The longer we are over there the more likely more of our soldiers are likely to die under your command McChrystal, is that what you are smiling about?He General a don’t ask don’t teller with plenty of fodder readily available to him?

I heard recently that the chain of command can be broken if there is an unlawful order, to me this would mean if you were ordered to torture someone like are good old boys Bush and Chaney were apt to do.Does McChrystal feel he needs to torture?

If McCrystal were allowed to stay in command what will happen next the Republicans apologize to him for what Obama said to him and then make him a candidate for president of the United States. What will he then be the next Republican candidate for President, watch out America.

The recent wars and conflicts of this country were due to a false idealism propagandized to you wealthy Americans by the Republicans.If we are to stay free from war and conflict in the future we have to lead by example.Set a strong example for other countries to follow.Our diplomacy should not be based on oil.We have been sidetracked from investing in and developing alternative energy for more than 30 years in this country by Republican administrations that cannot handle change.They cannot conceive of or implement change effectively for the better because they do not have the intelligence or the nature to do so.Their prerogative is to close the purse strings and give the money back to themselves in the form of lower taxes.To keep up with the pace of the world we are going to have to spend money, and it should not be on cleaning up dirty oil spills or a corruption.

Bring our troops home and have them set up wind farms and solar cell farms, give them all Army Corps of Engineering training to do so.Give them training to install solar panels on the residential rooftops of our homes and set them to it.Independent of foreign energy we will be less likely to have costly foreign conflicts. Send them to the Gulf of Mexico and have them clean up that mess too.

Barrack you must make assurances to every American in this country that if they safely install alternative energy and electric utility will be forced to buy it at, or above market prices that the utility charges to its customers.

It breaks the spirit of every alternative energy entrepreneur and American for that matter when they hear the story of the man in Platteville Wisconsin, who put up windmills and some solar panels and no electric utility would buy his power.They wanted to buy him out of the annuity he had created instead.

His story was printed in the Wisconsin State Journal two years ago.

Barrack take the initiative to put forth the action into a law that mandates purchase of independent alternative power by utilities that do indeed have a monopoly.Balking at the purchase of said power inflows and streams illegal. The punishment could be, if a utility is caught denying purchase, the nearest utility to the producer must pay quadruple rates back to the life of the project and forward for a set period of years or useful life of the project.

Barrack China is using ground up coal mixed with water and about 1percent of a petroleum product in their coal burners, boilers and industrial furnaces.It is said to provide more than twice the energy output of regular coal or fuel oil for that matter, with very substantial decreases in pollution emissions.

Boilers are said to be easily converted to use it.

In reality both you and I know we will always be using coal, why not mandate this safer form sooner, like China did?

For the life of me can you tell me why we aren’t doing this in this country already?

Sino Clean Energy has a rapidly growing business of this type in China.They used to have representation in the United States but I am not sure they do anymore.They are listed on our NASDAQ exchange under the symbol SCEI.

Draft a law and push it through like China did.Sometimes when it takes thirty years to agree to do the right thing, the right thing wasn’t done at all.And I am referring to the entanglement of self interests and bureaucracy.Lobbyist and self interest rarely coincide with “Our Interests”.The culmination of years of their infighting is anti American.

E*Trade Securities Fraudulent manipulates margin account settings to undermine customers.What they will do is say you can borrow a certain amount one day and then the next they will tell you that you were not allowed to borrow the amount you just did and you have to put more money in the account.They do this via fraudulent back office manipulations in the rates that are a percentage of the equity you own. This is criminal behavoir and it undermines every American and investment in this country. In effect one day your account might say that you have borrowing capacity of 50,000.00.So you go ahead and borrow, all the time making sure that you have not borrowed too much.Then the next day they say that you owe $50,000.00 by changing a percentage rate in the computer somewhere that you are never made aware of.The total Account Value will be the same from one day to the next, but how much money they say you have owe them right away goes from extra borrowing capacity to a margin call at their whim.A margin call forces you and to sell when you don’t want to. This creates volatility in the markets.A volatility of this magnitude can lead to a great Depression.

This is fraud and manipulation and what the Securities and Echange Acts of 1933 and 1934 tried to extinguish.I have contacted them on this and told them that investor trading on margin need to have transparency into how their borrowings are calculated but have not seen any change.

E*TRADE Securities does have “Button” on its website that allows customers to update their account balances to real time values in terms of how much margin you need to maintain regarding and funds that you have borrowed from them.This feature does not work in real time as it states.

E*TRADE was at the forefront of the financial crisis of 2000 and the mortgage crisis of 2008.I believe this fraudulently flawed system might bear some of the responsibility for these events.As customers borrow and do not know in real time that they have over borrowed.But sometimes the systems is updated in realtime and sometimes it isn’t.It all depends what the customer is doing and how the broker can profit from manipulation thereof.This is akin to what caused the stock market crash of 1929.When stock prices decline just a little this forces an increased risk of panic selling when at the end of the day they find that their loan to value ratio was not maintained in real time as indicated to them by the website.A class action suit, initiated by the consumer protection agency or the Securities and Exchange Commission is justified on behalf of stock brokerage customers.

Barrack they can only profit if they can take a position against the customer, Ie. a Short Sale, an investment whereby when the stock goes down they make money.Without short sales stock prices would be fairly valued or reflect more of a true value not subject to manipulation.The brokerages would argue when there are not enough shares outstanding they cannot sell to you a stock they cannot acquire.In this case the money for those extra sales should go into a new term called reserve shares, the money from reserve shares would go into a bank account for the company that issued them.The only investment the company would be able to make would be government issued debt, unless they wanted to convert reserved shares into shares outstanding.This new accounting would be much like the reserves China has in their accounting system.It would also eliminate greed, fraud and evil from the stock market.Wall Street would be forced to earn their money.Wall Street loves to profit from the lack of confidence and ignorance of its customers. I know what their character and integrity is, I worked for them.

George Bush was idolized by young wealthy Americans for 8 years.He was the person to be like in terms of character and the ability to make responsible decisions.He best looked out for their interest, they would say in their Polo shirts.

The big oil policy is a Republican energy policy and it is not conservative.It was President Carter that wanted to see us develop more alternative energy.In 2009 Germany a country a fraction the size of the United States of American installed 3000 Megawatts of solar powered electricity compared to less than 450 Megawatts in the United States.

I am not saying that George Bush broke that oil well in the Gulf as some would accuse me of saying at this point.But him, his father, Jeb, Ronald Reagan and conservative delusionists sure didn’t decrease our dependency on it.

This is why I am not a Republican.They have nothing under their ten gallon hats accept the desire to be up on stage in a Western with glitz and glamour.

Here is how this Western reads.An oil Barron sought to put us at odds with foreign countries and into war over expansionist oil policies.He had all the support of this countries affluent behind him.He could have started installing alternative energy in Texas, a state or land he was responsible for.

The clean cut image portrayed by Reagan and Bush and our ever over thinking Republican Party, led us through deceit rather than pragmatic and logical governance which they were not capable of.The propaganda machine painted all Democrats as weak.

Are we the American People to believe that the undersea robot waiving its hand like an idiot with cerebral palsy is our best effort to fix this problem? How did all that highly engineered equipment get installed on the ocean floor in the first place if this non-articulating wand buoyed and influenced by underwater currents was the technology used to install the well?I see a pipe connected at an elbow joint with about a dozen nuts and bolts that look to be about an inch in diameter on the television.Installing this had to require more precise maneuverability than a diamond bladed saw that sticks.Barrack, does British Petroleum continue to negligently spew out black ruin to our permanent disgust of “Black”?

By the way I only see one way to fix this and cannot fathom why it is not being done.You put something of the nature of a larger cylinder with an open valve on the end over this gushing pipe secure and seal it at the base and then close the valve on top, but they must be missing the nuts and bolts to do this.It has leaked for so long that one wonders if an agenda is being propagandized that indeed makes us more dependent on foreign oil and the guise of leadership posed by Lone Star lawmen.

When the problems that are a result of the policies, that self labeled “Conservative Republicans” where proponents of gush a sickening pollution on our beautiful country where are the “Oil Experts” to offer a solution?I’ll give you a clue these high plains drifters are as weak as the townspeople in this movie.These men of great substance are indeed weak in judgment, character, integrity, honor and class.They’ll only come back to point the finger at someone else when they and the affluent youth impressed by them were truly responsible for this disaster.They will only come back when to bar us from voting for someone else at the poles and it will that same us that will clean this mess with bare hands not them.

How much more devastation does this country have to face before we no longer have to look at the ilk, the youth that would try and drown out with chants any intelligent word a Democrat would say while giving a speech in public?By any standards of responsibility of foresight a guise of intelligence has been created in our culture that bares little respect.

When will this country see and recognize that Republicans use the political tactics of a snake oil salesman?You can’t argue with them because they do not even know what a premise is.The devils hate the truth and truth in government and argue against premise.When the covered wagon has tipped, the wheels long ago needed maintenance?The grandiose were too busy hogging the bully pulpit to ever think of how the future of this country could have been made more responsible.

Conservative Republicans what other mess will you get us into to thwart progress and change in this country?We ought to send every conservative yuppie and yuppie wannabe that ever existed to the gulf armed with a shop towel, sponge, strainer and bucket to get on their hands and knees to clean up this mess.But it won’t be the investment bankers who make all the wise decisions regarding capital allocation to clean this mess.It will be more along the lines of what they term liberals that will have to wipe the apron of slop their spoiled minds created.It will be liberals that were turned away from voting in Florida that will be the very ones to clean this on hands and knees.The black people barred from voting by another Lone Star lawman with a plastic badge, he goes by the name of Jeb.

Our Lone Star lawmen got in office through Iran Contra, Insider Trading and a stolen election.Let’s put it this way our Texas and Florida Lone star lawmen got in office through Iran Contra, insider trading and a stolen election in Florida and nobody could stop them or the wake of destruction they have indeed created for the Lone Star state and Florida.Barrack make sure the truth of these matters is added to our history books or wrong fractions might come to power and governance again. If the morals of this country had been legally enforced at any of these three points, the posing deceitful would have never attained office and we would have a much better past and present in this country.But don’t reflect and ask these questions of yourself.

Americans never stand for deceit like this again.If I was Barrack Obama I might bring up these issues while I have the pulpit.It might make the Republicans true to responsibility.Or at least the minds that betrayed us might get out of the way of finding a solution for the problems they created.Unless Barrack is still afraid the local lawmen will through his old friend or friends in Jail again.

It would only be poetic justice if the mess could be cleaned up and we never had to look at them or listen to their propaganda ever again in the future of this country.Now that is how a western ends.

In this morning’s Investor’s Business Daily I read a biography of Dwight Eisenhower.As a strategy in WWII he made the decision to attack Germany through Normandy France.This being the way, the Germans would least likely be defending, and therefore the best way to destroy Germany’s industrial base, considered its engine of war.

What would Eisenhower do in Afghanistan?He would destroy every poppy field there.The drug being a source of profit that fuels their terrorism and also a source of listless and slothful behavior, in a word evil.

He would never vote to legalize marijuana, which is already by way of defect in effect in Colorado, and I believe Arnold Schwarzenegger also has plans to legalize it in California, I believe his terminology was "It is worthy of debate."

Eisenhower sent an elite military force to enforce a civil rights bill that the Governor of Arkansas defied by using the national guard to block black students from enrolling in a high school.

They say there is a big drug problem in our military I heard this from someone who had a son in the military police stationed overseas.We are in effect sending our boys over to Afghanistan to tip toe through the Tulips or Poppy’s as it is.They’ll learn to be great drug dealers from this GI bill.And they will even have a little military discipline to back them up wont they.

I’ll tell you what Eisenhower would do again, he would destroy every poppy field over there and drug test every member of our military stationed around the world.And as president if he had to fire them all and take away their base keys he would do that also, and start over with men.I’ll tell you what else he would do, knowing of the dangers and risks to our society of cigarette smoking, he would declare commercial sale of them illegal, and make illegal to smoke outdoors, in public or in your house with members of your family you supposedly love so dearly.

Dear Arnold for all we know the BP Amoco workers responsible for this latest oil spill disaster where high on your states pot.Did not they give the give the Captain of the Exxon Valdez a breath test for alcohol?What do we need to test you for?Are you the former icon of health turned Republican drug dealer to the junkies?

About Me

Welcome to my Blogs. My name is Thomas Murphy and I love the forest and wildlife areas of Wisconsin and would like to share my thoughts and the pictures I have taken of the natural areas of Wisconsin.
Come share in my collection of what I feel to some of the finest scenes and images of the forests, lakes, rivers and marshes that Wisconsin has to offer. I like to go to pristine and secluded areas where nature resides quietly and I feel the resulting “lost” images are profoundly unique.
I am usually “in the moment” when I take these pictures. When I say in the moment I mean a sense of excitement often precedes what my eye captures through the camera. I never stage these shots but seem to be in the right place and time when I shoot them.
And when I transfer them from my camera and view them on my computer screen I realize a sense of surrealism that resonates with me yet again to the time they were taken and exemplify the beauty of nature.
Please peruse my sites and experience the beauty of being there as I did.
